Board of Regents addresses prominent issues
by Sarah S. Cole
For the first time ever, the
Board of Regents met "piggy
back" to Founder's Week on
January 29th and 30th. In the
course of two days, several issues were addressed and
changes made.
The Board unanimously appointed President Brushaber to
a second term after receiving
the Presidential Review Committee's recommendation and
report which determined his
success in leadership and managerial responsibilities. The Regents adopted the following
resolution:
"RESOLVED that the Board
of Regents recongizes the substantive growth Dr. Brushaber
has experienced in the office of
President during his first term
of office. The Board further recognizes that he has successfully
managed this responsibility during a critical period in the development of the college and seminary."
Their decision, however, is
subject to re-election by the
Baptist General Conference.
A. Sherman Swenson, former
Chairman of the Board of Regents, has been appointed as
Job Fair offers opportunities
Bethel seniors select careers
by Gretchen Bozon
Job Fair '87, which is sponsored by the Minnesota Private
College Council, took place at
the St. Paul Civic Center last
Monday and Tuesday, February
9 and 10.
Over 700 college seniors participated in the fair which has
been held annually since 1978.
The placement offices of the
schools involved were limited
to sending forty students to the
gathering which hosts recruiters from both national and mid-
western businesses. This year
over 90 businesses were represented including Control Data,
Procter & Gamble, 3M. IBM,
Int'l Multifoods. and Northwest
Airlines.
Before the fair, students applied to be interviewed by the
company representatives. Some
companies requested pre-select
interviews with specific students chosen from the resumes
submitted in advance.
The morning of the first day,
consisted of interviews, and
\vorkshops led by local company employees. The afternoon
allowed the seniors to visit
booths in the auditorium stationed by company representatives and set up interviews for
the following day.
As a result of the interviewing last year, jobs were offered
to 20 out of the 46 Bethel participants.
Though the fair is made up of
companies, it isn't an event exclusively for business or communications majors. The companies attending know that the
students involved have a liberal
arts education and have positions available for various majors.
The participating students
registered in November and
most worked hard on getting
background on the companies
(hey are interviewing for.
This spring, several career
fairs are planned to inform students of job opportunities and
career choices.

Learning Resource Center hours soon to be extended
Complications may arise
by Lynn Gunnarson
Pending the resolution of bus
scheduling conflicts, the Learning Resource Center (LRC) will
extend its Sunday evening
hours sometime this February.
The proposed hours are 1-5 p.m.
and 7:30-10:15 p.m. The schedule will allow a break for dinner
and church.
Immediate implementation
of the new plan is prevented
because there is no bus schedule to and from Fountain Terrace apartments for the Sunday
hours. According to Vivian
Steinbach, LRC Circulation Supervisor. "This creates a problem for the students who want
lo use the LRC and the student
workers who live al Fountain
Terrace.

Edgren fire
limited to
boiler room
by Paul Morley
Sometime during the morning of January 24, a fire broke
out in the basement boiler
room of Edgren Residence Hall.
Because the fire was contained
in the boiler room, it was not
detected until 8:00 a.m. when,
according to freshman Ruth
Resendiz of 2nd floor Edgren,
"the rooms smelled like
smoke,"
At the time of the fire. Resident Director Mary Van Sickle
and her staff of RAs were away
on a staff retreat, and evidently
no one thought to awaken Steve
Van Sickle (Mary's husband)
who slept through the whole
event. Once the smoke became
noticeable, one of the residents
pulled the fire alarm handles
designed for just such an
emergency, but the alarm did
not go off.
In the meantime however,
the fire had activated an alarm
over at the main school buildings, the engineer on duty had
discovered the source of the
fire, and the fire department
had been duly summoned.
When the firemen arrived, they
found smoke pouring out of the
RA shack on the 1st floor. They
proceeded to knock down the
fire wall in the basement which
separates the boiler room from
the student recreation room
and quickly doused the fire. In
the meantime, other firemen
had evacuated all residents
from the building.
